Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) in Bengaluru has been setting ripples afresh this time around, following its name being termed by an industrialist, Harsh Goenka, as a masterpiece. Going online, the chairman of the RPG Group lauded the new airport design, the atmosphere, and services to the point of comparing it with the globally known Changi Airport in Singapore.

Goenka wrote of Terminal 2 of KIA, stating that it was a lush, serene and world-class experience, with the experience at the airport being futuristic and considerate. He has particularly referred to the attention to detail, saying how at every baggage belt you can find attendants and that every bag falls softly. The business leader finished off his post with the statement that Singaporean Changi Airport is the only one that can compete with the new terminal of Bengaluru.

Terminal 2 of KIA, or the Garden Terminal, represents the identity of Bengaluru, which is the City of Gardens in India. The architecture of the terminal incorporates elements of natural lighting, indoor gardens, and eco-friendly design and places the emphasis on the comfort of passengers. Constructed with bamboo, local stones and energy-saving systems, it has been certified platinum in the level of green building by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) and LEED in order to get hold of sustainability.

The analogy of the Changi Airport has power. Changi, which is rated as the best airport in the world, is famous as it is lush decoration with waterfalls, pieces of art and smooth experiences of the passengers. Goenka included Bengaluru in the same category, as this indicated the development that has been made in the Indian infrastructure to meet the global standards.

The praises by Goenka were an immediate internet hit, and numerous travellers concurred with him. According to frequent flyers, Terminal 2 had an idyllic existence, good management, and classy design, which made the Bengaluru Airport be rated highly by the world on the international map.

More than pure aesthetics, the emergence of KIA is also an indication of the increased emphasis on world-class infrastructure and passenger experience in India. With Bengaluru progressing to become one of the leading international airports in India, the masterpiece label of one of the most successful industrialists in India highlights a more important fact: Indian airports are no longer keeping pace with expectations; they are leading by a very thin margin.
